Theresa May made the 2017 election about Brexit, look what happened. Labour’s Brexit policy was totally flawed and lacked coherence: access to single market, but ending freedom of movement wasn’t going to happen. It didn’t matter because they weren’t going to win, and needed to appease their...

After those indicative votes in Parliament last night, the EU is still refusing to reopen negotiations. Have said reopening negotiations could ‘backfire’ with Gibraltar, fisheries and the Divorce Bill would be opener too. An MEP said that a no deal Brexit was a ‘lesser of two evils’ when it came...

Fair enough, if he felt stifled by the lack of chances of first team football. But, players like that should be looking to join somewhere to get first team experience. Same as Thomas, a waste. Look at Stevenson, 1 year he’s had his pay day for, and that money wouldn’t go very far for someone...

I don’t think any of them would have, including Sambou — who was on the bench for Everton U23s against us in preseason. The same guy who left because he didn’t get first team football... Players like those three need to screw their heads on properly and be a bit realistic. It wouldn’t...

Bad career moves for Stevenson and Thomas. Thomas especially shouldn’t have tried to move to a premiership club so early, but, I understand why Stevenson wanted to move. Even the monetary benefits of their moves won’t be worth it it if they end up leaving before their contract is up. Young...

I said he should have the opportunity to have a go at promotion for 2-3 seasons. If we fighting a relegation battle, I’d consider sacking him. Hope that clears things up.

What are your expectations for this season?

I agree that we need more balance in the team, but we’re in a decent place given the circumstance. In less than 2 years, we’ve gone from a the worst team in L1 to promotion and now we’re a good top half team. We had to gut the team when we got relegated, we had to add a lot of quality coming...

From my view, I thought it took a deflection.

This thread, like the others probably won’t age well. He’s a good manager, we have a good, young team and it will come together next season when we add to what we’ve got.

Exactly, but the UK laws that adopted EU law became the law by Act of Parliament. One of the most controversial examples is the Human Rights Act 1998, which is a UK law that pretty much adopts EU law pretty much word for word. Even before Brexit, Cameron had pledged to repeal the HRA and replace...

Ok, name the specific EU law that is on the statute book. Can’t be that hard of what I’m saying is wrong like you say.

If EU regulations became UK law, name one such EU law that is on the UK statute book. Just one.

Nope, if that’s the takeaway from my points, your analysis is simplistic. I outlined how the UK parliaments makes law, which as we see, the EU plays no physical part. Furthermore, I said the EU can sanction member states. To summarise, the EU can’t force national parliaments to comply with its...

In the 50s onwards, most European countries practiced capital punishment. The UK abolished peacetime capital punishment in 1965. This is before the likes of Greece (1972 & 75), France (1977 & 81), Hungary (1988 & 1990), Latvia (1990 & 96), Luxembourg (1979), Poland (1988 & 1997) — first year...

I don’t believe I’ve said any of what you outlined. Don’t deflect now that you’ve used the example of capital punishment, said we couldn’t ratify the ECHR until it was abolished without realising we were the first nation to ratify it...

How do you know this by the way? I’m curious? As for Shankland, Swansea and Rangers seem to be in for him, so it’s unlikey we’d sign him. That said, we’re quite an attractive club to join at the minute. Didn’t think I’d be saying that 3-4 season ago!

Britain was the very first country to ratify the European Convention of Human Rights, back in 1951. Before we outlawed capital punishment. The Human Rights Act of 1998 brought the ECHR into British Law and the our law pretty much copied the EU laws word for word As I outlined earlier, EU laws...

Not necessarily, we wanted to sign a defender in the summer. Personally, I think Davies will leave because he’s not getting game time. As for Willis, I’m struggling to see where he gets an opportunity to start week in, week out in the Championship. Frankly, we ought to have about 4 defenders and...

With an Act of Parliament, yes. What’s your point? New Labour passed many reforms in Blair’s first term. The HRA, CRA, and so on.
